About the Series

Biblical Studies from the Catholic Biblical Association of America seeks to bridge the gap between the technical exegetical work of the academic community and the educational and pastoral needs of the ecclesial Community. Combining careful exegesis with a theological understanding of the text, the members of the Catholic Biblical Association of America have written these volumes in a style that is accessible to an educated, nonspecialized audience, without compromising academic integrity. 

These volumes deal with biblical texts and themes that are important and vital for the life and ministry of the Church. While some focus on specific biblical books or particular texts, others are concerned with important theological themes with archaeological and geographical issues, and still others with questions of interpretation. Through this series, the members of the Catholic Biblical Association of America are eager to present the results of their research in a way that is relevant to an interested audience that goes beyond the
confines of the academic community.

John the Baptizer: Reformer and Hinge of Scripture
by Bonnie Thurston

This "narrative biography" of John the Baptist, drawn primarily from New Testament texts, introduces the reader to the life of John the Baptist in the Gospels and Christian spirituality.

With more verses devoted to him than anyone except Jesus, John the Baptist appears some ninety times in the New Testament. Relying primarily on the canonical New Testament texts (with reference to modern scholarship), the book introduces the general reader, undergraduate, or seminary student to John's life, especially its importance in the ministry of Jesus, the development of the early church, and his enduring spiritual significance. The Baptist as reformer is an important theme of the study.

The book holds a place between popular, short works intended for parish or personal Bible study and technical New Testament works and is appropriate for adult scripture study in a group or personally and for undergraduate courses in scripture.
